"How hateful …"
Huo Tan was unwilling to give up. He let out a mournful howl like a wild beast, but he couldn't change anything. In the end, he couldn't escape death.
A cool breeze blew past, and the ancient trees in the forbidden zone swayed. Ashes flew up. Huo Tan had been burned to ashes by his own destructive holy light, and the ashes scattered with the wind.
In the distance, Ye Fan watched everything quietly. His purple robe fluttered, and his expression was calm. After a long time, a sound came from behind him. Duan De and the others had arrived.
"Haha … a saint was slaughtered. This time, it's completely heaven-defying!" Longma laughed wildly. The hooves of his horse galloped, and flames flickered. He had almost mistakenly entered the forbidden zone.
Ye Fan wasn't too excited. He saw the gap between himself and a saint. The difference between the two couldn't be measured. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no hope of winning in the forbidden zone of life.
"The difference is too great. As a saint, he is unfathomably strong. Even though he was lured into the forbidden zone, he still managed to kill Ye Fan's other body," the Black Emperor said with a solemn expression.
That was equivalent to another Ye Fan with flesh and blood. There was no difference between the two. He died in the forbidden zone, indicating that if Ye Fan's real body entered, he would have perished together with Huo Tan!
"In today's world, if you want to have the capital to settle down, you must become a saint. Otherwise, things will become even more complicated when the ancient sages from the outer realms come. The world will definitely be in chaos," Duan De said.
"Becoming a saint!" An invisible pressure appeared in Ye Fan's heart. This was just an existence that had just become a saint. How terrifying would a true ancient saint be?
And what kind of terrifying cultivation would the few Great Sages who stood at the peak of the entire ancient planet have? Just thinking about this question would make one shiver from head to toe.
"Huo Tan left something behind," Ye Tong said.
Ye Fan had already seen it, but it was not suitable for him to go in now. Using the One Qi Turning Three Pure Ones required time, and it couldn't be used continuously.
When the red sun set in the west, a wisp of clear air appeared above Ye Fan's head, and another version of himself was born. He walked in, and this time it was a flesh body. He arrived at the place where Huo Tan died. Under the ashes of the calamity, there were a few pieces of sacred bones covered in cracks, and there was also a palm-sized jade stone.
After taking it out, Duan De pursed his lips and said, "Its bones are all rotten. It can't be compared to a Saint King. It can't even be used to forge weapons."
The Black Emperor appraised the jade, saying that it was a secret treasure that came from the hands of the Great Sage. Even though it wasn't some weapon, it had wondrous uses.
Everyone frowned. It was just as they had expected. There was a Great Sage behind Huo Tan after all. This made them feel worried.
"It's fine. Wear these things on your body and you'll be safe." The Black Emperor distributed a string of pendants to the few of them. It was carved from the Divine Tree Branch of Enlightenment and contained the Heaven Deceiving Array Marks.
"This secret treasure can be placed in the green cauldron. After the Great Sage's aura is removed, I will study it," the Black Emperor said.
The group of people left the forbidden land. They hadn't gone far when they felt the mountains shake. A whistling sound came from the forbidden land of the Ancient Desolate Era.
Hong!
Desolate's power surged out of the forbidden land and pervaded the mountains. Many birds and beasts directly turned into withered bones, making the few of them feel their hair stand on end.
"Let's go, something shocking is happening here!"
They quickly retreated and rose into the sky. They revealed shocked expressions as they watched from afar.
The nine sacred mountains surged with multicolored mist. All kinds of mist lingered about, making it look hazy. It was very different from before.
"A few Desolate Slaves have appeared above the abyss!"
They all opened their Heavenly Eyes and could see a thousand li away. They saw a few figures, all of them dressed in ancient clothes. They all had terrifying origins.
One of them was a woman with peerless beauty. She was the Heavenly Jade Holy Lady from six thousand years ago, the number one beauty of the Eastern Desolate Land. Now, she had become a walking corpse, her eyes without luster.
"Not a single one of them is ordinary. They are all incredible existences!" Duan De narrowed his eyes. His emotions were somewhat strange.
He stared at a white-haired old man. This person wore an ancient Daoist robe. His face was covered in wrinkles, and his hair was white like snow. His eyes were lead gray.
"Who knows … this is Ancient Sage Xia Feng. He had an audience with the Azure Emperor several times. His cultivation is great, but he is a slave here," Duan De said calmly.
Since ancient times, the peerless experts who had reached the end of their lives would almost always make the same choice in their later years — they would enter the seven great forbidden lands and search for immortal divine medicines in order to live a second life.
Unfortunately, no one had ever succeeded!
Several figures appeared above the abyss, but they could only recognize two people. One was more powerful than the other. The others were dressed in ancient clothes, and it was impossible to distinguish them. It was unknown which era they belonged to.
Huala!
The sound of iron chains rang out. Even though they were so far away, they could still hear it clearly. A wave of black mist surged out, and a figure stood in the void. Only a pair of eyes could be seen. Azure light flickered, and it was astonishing.
The Heavenly Eyes were ineffective. Ye Fan and the others could not see through the black mist. They could not see the figure's body. That place was mysterious.
"Boom!"
The entire ancient forbidden land was trembling. The black mist surged violently, almost reaching the edge of the forbidden land. The sound of iron chains rang out continuously, as if it was right next to their ears.
"What is going on? What is going to happen?" The large black dog's black fur stood on end, and he bared his teeth. He felt waves of unease.
"Could it be that he is going to come out?" Ye Tong possessed the Sun God's body, but he also felt a chill throughout his body. He sensed a special aura.
It was said that the path of Immortal Ascension was going to open in the southern region, and the Ancient Sage said that it might appear in the ancient forbidden land. The ancient sages had just descended, and they chose this place. Was this really going to happen?
Huala!
The iron chains swayed, and the sound of metal rubbing against each other was extremely ear-piercing. It was as if there were many metal chains that were stretched taut, and they were going to snap at any moment.
"Is he … the real Desolation? Could it be that he is going to break free and leave the ancient forbidden land?" The people present all sucked in a breath of cold air. If this was true, there would definitely be great chaos!
"Black Emperor, did this forbidden land already exist in Wu Shi's era?" Ye Fan asked.
"It should have existed for a long time." The Black Emperor stared at the nine sacred mountains. Black mist surged there, covering the sun, moon, and stars.
"Did Great Emperor Wu Shi ever say what kind of place this is? Did he ever come here to fight?"
"Didn't I tell you guys long ago? I really don't know about this kind of question. When I followed Great Emperor Wu Shi, he was already in his later years and went into seclusion. It is impossible for me to know all the great things he has done," the Black Emperor said.
"However …" His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment. A strange expression appeared on his face, and he said, "It seems … that this place is very special. When the Great Emperor passed by the southern region in his later years, he once said something to himself, but I didn't hear it clearly."
"Think carefully," Duan De said, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"He said something about 'not becoming a Celestial'. I seem to recall these three words. Back then, when I asked him about it, he only shook his head, and didn't say much," the Black Emperor said.
Huala!
The sound of the chains became even louder, shaking their eardrums until they felt pain. All kinds of metallic cold light flickered in the black mist, incomparably dazzling.
"That is … divine gold!"
The Desolate Slaves all retreated, standing on the nine sacred mountains. Above the abyss in the center, a figure stood alone, pulling many divine chains straight.
Scarlet multicolored light flickered, and the cries of phoenixes shook the nine heavens. That was a divine chain forged from phoenix blood and scarlet gold. Divine marks of the great dao appeared, and it could extend endlessly, locking this person's body.
Purple light was dazzling, and an expanse of purple mist surged. The divine marks of the purple-gold chain trembled, extending from the abyss and locking this person down. He was struggling violently.
Green light flickered, and immortal multicolored light pervaded the air. It was as if there were streaks of tears flickering. This was a divine chain forged from immortal tears and green gold. It was sparkling and brilliant, as if the tears of immortals were flowing down.
…
"This is …" When he saw this scene, even Duan De was a bit stupefied. There were four or five divine chains that intertwined with each other, winding around this person's body, trapping him in the abyss.
They were all unmatched divine gold, materials used to forge extreme dao emperor weapons. Not even great ancient emperors might be able to find them, yet they were used to bind a person. Just how terrifying was this?!
"What exactly is going on? Just what kind of cultivation realm has this person reached? Who was it that locked him up here? What kind of background does he have?"
The so-called Desolate might be a prisoner, locked up by someone with extreme dao divine gold, unable to break free from this place. It was hard for others to understand who had such heaven reaching magical power!
Honglong!
The nine sacred mountains were trembling, shaking intensely. That figure was struggling, and the dao marks on the extreme dao divine gold chains seemed like they were going to shatter. He might struggle free at any time.
Black mist surged, and all types of divine gold radiance flickered about. From time to time, one could see the dazzling metallic luster. Only that body couldn't be seen through the entire time, unable to be seen clearly.
"Why is it like this? Why does he suddenly want to leave the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Land?" The few of them were shocked, but at the same time, they were puzzled.
"Could it be that your great battle with Huo Tan just now angered him?" Longma's eyes rolled.
The Black Emperor and Duan De also looked over, both of them staring at Ye Fan, as if they were looking at the culprit, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Of the seven great life restricted areas, only this place had an unmatched existence that might appear in the world today. If it was true, it would definitely be earth-shattering!
"Let's go, let's leave this place first. No wonder the two sages from outside this region retreated. Perhaps they saw that something was wrong. "Ye Fan said.
There was no need to keep an eye on them here. Otherwise, if Desolate came out, wherever he went, the creatures would definitely wither up and become a land of death. Something unexpected would happen to them.
The realm gate opened, and their group decisively left. The iron chains behind them resounded through the heavens, and the black clouds that stretched for hundreds of li had nothing to do with them.
"Huo Tan's soul lamp has been extinguished, he's dead!" That day, the ancient race that Huo Tan was in revealed this piece of news. A saint had fallen!
Who was it that killed Huo Tan? During these past few days, he had always been chasing after Ye Fan. Could it be that the human race's ancient saint couldn't stand it any longer and took action against him?
"It's definitely the human race's ancient saint, or else who could kill Huo Tan? Someone as powerful as Ye Fan is still at the dao severing realm, there's no way he can defy the heavens!"
When news got out, it triggered a huge uproar. Everyone was discussing this, because this might very well trigger great chaos. After all, it involved a confrontation between saints.
However, soon after, a secret rumor leaked out. It was Ye Fan who killed Huo Tan. The ancient race had someone proficient in divination who deduced this result.
"Hua!"
The entire world was in an uproar. Everyone was stupefied. How could they believe this type of reality? Was the ancient race trying to find an excuse to take action against the human race's divine body?
No one believed this. Ye Fan killed a saint? This was too preposterous. Even if he was an imperial prince, even if he had heaven-defying methods, it was impossible for him to have this kind of battle prowess!
"It's true. Huo Tan really was killed by the human race's divine body. The moment his soul lamp was extinguished, the final scene was reflected. It was Ye Fan who destroyed his divine body."
Many people from the ancient race didn't believe it at first, but after going to Huo Tan's clan to verify it, they received conclusive evidence. They were all dumbfounded.
When this news spread out, people couldn't help but believe it. The entire world was shocked, and the entire world was in an uproar.
Ye Fan killed a saint!
This was truly heaven-defying!
"Ye Fan killed a saint. This is enough to be recorded in the history of cultivation. He can stand shoulder to shoulder with the ruthless, comparable to the young Wu Shi, and comparable to the Azure Emperor. With this kind of battle prowess, once he becomes a saint, who can contend against him?"
The entire world was shocked. Ye Fan had returned, and with his glorious accomplishment of killing a saint, he had rung the great bell of the mortal world. Great waves swept through the world.
"Huo Tan has finally become a saint, but he will be recorded in the annals of history as a negative example. He will become a foil to the human race's glorious battle."
"This is a battle that will shake the history of cultivation. Three immortals killed a saint. There have only been a few examples since ancient times. The universe has been reversed!"
The entire world was discussing this, but they didn't know that the forbidden ancient land in the southern region was cracking. An even more terrifying event was about to happen.
